Crystal Mirror Buddhitist

In this book, a variety of topics related to crystal growth is extensively discussed. It is intended to provide information on advancements in technologies for crystal growth to physicists, researches, as well as engineers working with single-crystalline functional materials.

This second edition features new chapters highlighting advances in our understanding of the behavior and properties of scintillators, and the discovery of new families of materials with light yield and excellent energy resolution very close to the theoretical limit. The book focuses on the discovery of next-generation scintillation materials and on a deeper understanding of fundamental processes.
